Giver Taker Heartbreaker

"Giver Taker Heartbreaker is a jazzy, bizarre, semi-absurdist black comedy in the vein of early Jarmusch."

Ari Gold, filmmaker: "It really feels like French New Wave, but a modern version that isn't an imitation."

Shot on MiniDV in 2007 and 2008, this zero budget experimental comedy was made with two low-fi cameras and no crew. Tracy Lee, Amari Cheatom and Jack Sutherland play the lead characters inhabiting a surreal vision of New York City as a tightly cropped urban dystopia. A 114 minute version made its premiere at the World Film Festival of Bangkok in 2009. You can watch the final 89 minute cut here:
